MCPLP will endeavor to build and deploy low-cost, open-source underwater robots to perform a video survey of the bottom of Lakes Glacier, Cohasset, and Newport as well as perform water quality assessments (chemical and physical characteristics). These convenient natural resources offer an excellent opportunity to explore and possibly innovate underwater robotic applications. We believe that an underwater video survey (using robots) of the bottom of these lakes has never been done before and will serve as a interesting and fun project for robot enthusiasts, students, and researchers in the area. The artifacts of this project will be accessible to the Northeast Ohio Community. Underwater robots can be used to monitor, perform or assist in performing water quality assessments. Underwater robots can be used to deploy sensor clusters or long term monitoring devices (like data loggers).
